Creating my contents page

I've started my contents page by adding the features I know I'll have to add (headings, images). Now I'm going to rearrange the order until I find something which works and I can begin to make it look good. The blue background is being used temporarily to fill the space for the wide screen element. 

Here I have tried the layout of one of the magazines I have researched but I do not like the way it looks on the page because it does not look minimalistic enough to meet my target audience's preference. 

I added some of my text to make the contents page look more realistic. Now that the images are uniform and the text is on one side it looks more organised. I will add another image below the 'Thane' image, and fill in the 'Features' and 'News & Live' section. Also, I still need to add a colour to fill the background. 

Adding Another Sell Line

I decided to add another sell line '20 free tickets' to the cover because I felt like 'Sound of 2015' did not stand out enough by itself. 

I used mixed fonts to differentiate between each line. This helps me to establish a house style which I can use for my other pages.

The rulers helped to ensure that the text was neat and there was the same difference between 'Thane' and 'Hozier'.
